Denied
The Board denied service connection for back pain, finding that the evidence does not support a link between the condition and the Veteran's active service.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner opined that the Veteran's current lumbosacral strain was less likely than not related to an in-service injury or event, as it is an acute self-limiting condition often associated with overuse.
